Major Project: Concept & Detail Development

I've chosen Renzo Piano as reference to my major project. In this project, I will focus on 2 particular details which Renzo Piano did in IRCAM Extension building and the B&B Italia Offices. I am interested with the detail of the cladding in IRCAM Extension and the Roof detail of B&B Italia Offices. My aim for this project is to figure out how these 2 details are going to join together and work functionally. I would like to design a detail base on Renzo's detail however not imitating it. The cladding in the design is mainly to block some direct sunlight penetrate into the office. I am struggling on how the cladding is going to join with the columns, and how to stiffen a truss connection to the U Beam columns.... more to come
